2004 Peugeot 407 2.0L Diesel · AM04 KMO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test in November 2022 at 164,844 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just six days prior at 164,832 miles. This brief failure without recorded defects suggests a potential administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was rectified immediately before the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure or structural weakness. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between April 2019 and October 2021, the car covered 20,570 miles, indicating a steady rate of use. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests shows a further accumulation of 9,571 miles, which aligns with the historical trend. This moderate mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme motorway use, which generally preserves the drivetrain components and rubber-related bushings. While the record shows no recurring advisories, a physical inspection must focus on the common failure points of the Peugeot 407 of this era. The buyer should specifically examine the front suspension wishbone bearings for excessive play, as these are prone to premature wear on this model. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches is essential, as the MOT record does not always capture surface-level rust that may compromise structural integrity over two decades of winter use.
